CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center is a small museum and education center located in Terre Haute, Indiana, focused on the Holocaust and Eva Kor. It is described as the sole organization devoted to preserving the memory of the Mengele Twins, who survived medical experimentation at Auschwitz. Its mission emphasizes education to cultivate critical thinking and to promote hope, healing, respect, and responsibility. The center operates beyond its walls as an active voice against genocide, aiming to prevent it through local and global engagement. The organization serves the public and educational communities interested in Holocaust history and related human rights topics and is based in Terre Haute. In 2019, it formed a partnership with Indiana Landmarks to stabilize and repurpose its building and introduced the Dimensions in Testimony theater exhibit.
